Metal Oxide-Impregnated Biochar for Azo Dye Remediation as Revealed through Kinetics, Thermodynamics, and Response Surface Methodology. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:4300-4316. [PMID: 38313481 PMCID: PMC10832006 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
This study reports for the first time the adsorption capacity of a novel adsorbent Croton bonplandianus Baill. biochar. Its adsorption capacity was further enhanced by loading magnetic composites on it, which makes it an efficient medium for the adsorption of dyes. Two azo dyes, Basic Brown 1 (BB1) and Basic Orange 2 (BO2), were studied for their effective adsorption from aqueous media. A comprehensive characterization was performed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study the properties of Fe2O3-loaded C. bonplandianus Baill. biochar (FO-CBPBB). A series of batch experiments were conducted to optimize various parameters (pH, contact time, adsorbent amount, initial BB1 and BO2 concentrations, and temperature) for the maximum adsorption of BB1 and BO2 on the FO-CBPBB adsorbent. The percentage of BB1 and BO2 dyes that adsorb to FO-CBPBB under the best experimental circumstances (pH of solution 7, contact time 80 min, temperature of solution 40 °C, initial BB1 and BO2 dye concentrations 80 mg L-1, and adsorbent dose 1 g L-1) was 93 and 95%, respectively. The best adsorption of BB1 and BO2 was accomplished by optimizing the effects of several factors, including the starting dye concentration, contact time, and temperature, based on the central composite design. The Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were used to examine the equilibrium data. The Langmuir isotherm with the greatest adsorption capacity and R2 value effectively captured the experimental results. When kinetic parameters were investigated, it was found that pseudo-second-order was appropriate, reflecting the fact that the dye-adsorbent interaction was the rate-controlling factor in this study. The sorption process was endothermic and spontaneous, as shown by the thermodynamic variables. Based on the interaction between the adsorbent and azo dyes, it was concluded that the adsorption process was electrostatic in nature. Adsorbents that have been synthesized can effectively remove azo dyes from wastewater. Excellent regeneration efficiency was exhibited by FO-CBPBB, which makes it an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to other costly techniques applied for water purification.

Iron-loaded carbon black prepared via chemical vapor deposition as an efficient peroxydisulfate activator for the removal of rhodamine B from water. RSC Adv 2023; 13:26252-26266.

Abstract
The excessive use of organic pollutants like organic dyes, which enter the water environment, has led to a significant environmental problem. Finding an efficient method to degrade these pollutants is urgent due to their detrimental effects on aquatic organisms and human health. Carbon-based catalysts are emerging as highly promising and efficient alternatives to metal catalysts in Fenton-like systems. They serve as persulfate activators, effectively eliminating recalcitrant organic pollutants from wastewater. In this study, iron-loaded carbon black (Fe-CB) was synthesized from tire waste using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Fe-CB exhibited high efficiency as an activator of peroxydisulfate (PDS), facilitating the effective degradation and mineralization of rhodamine B (RhB) in water. A batch experiment and series characterization were conducted to study the morphology, composition, stability, and catalytic activity of Fe-CB in a Fenton-like system. The results showed that, at circumneutral pH, the degradation and mineralization efficiency of 20 mg L-1 RhB reached 92% and 48% respectively within 60 minutes. Fe-CB exhibited excellent reusability and low metal leaching over five cycles while maintaining almost the same efficiency. The degradation kinetics of RhB was found to follow a pseudo-first-order model. Scavenging tests revealed that the dominant role was played by sulfate (SO4-˙) and superoxide (O2-˙) radicals, whereas hydroxyl radicals (OH˙) and singlet oxygen (1O2) played a minor role in the degradation process. This study elucidates the detailed mechanism of PDS activation by Fe-CB, resulting in the generation of reactive oxygen species. It highlights the effectiveness of Fe-CB/PDS in a Fenton-like system for the treatment of water polluted with organic dye contaminants. The research provides valuable insights into the potential application of carbon black derived from tire waste for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Several water and wastewater technologies have been implored for the removal of dyes during wastewater treatments; however; different types have been reportedly found in surface and groundwater systems. Hence, there is a need to investigate other water treatment technologies for the complete remediation of dyes in aquatic environments. In this study, novel chitosan-based polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) were synthesized for the removal of malachite green dye (MG) which is a recalcitrant of great concern in water. Two types of PIMs were synthesized in this study, the first PIM (PIMs-A) was composed of chitosan, bis-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (B2EHP), and dioctyl phthalate (DOP). While, the second PIMs (PIMs-B) were composed of chitosan, Aliquat 336, and DOP. The physico-thermal stability of the PIMs was investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), both PIMs demonstrated good stability with a weak intermolecular force of attraction amongst the various components of the membranes. The effects of the initial concentration of MG, pH of the MG solution, stripping solution, and time were investigated. At optimum conditions, both membranes (PIM-A and B) recorded the highest efficiencies of 96 % and 98 % at pH 4 and initial contaminants concentration of 50 mg/L, respectively. Finally, both PIMs were used for the removal of MG in different environmental samples (river water, seawater, and tap water) with an average removal efficiency of 90 %. Thus, the investigated PIMs can be considered a potential suitable technique for the removal of dyes and other contaminants from aquatic matrices.

Abstract
Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is solid wastes generated from the construction, demolition, and renovation activities that constitute almost 30-40 % of globally generated solid wastes. Improper disposal and management of these materials can cause negative impacts on the environment, economy, and human health. Most research on C&D waste is limited to reduction, recycling, and reuse of the wastes. However, there is no systematic review dedicated entirely to the applicability of C&D wastes as adsorbent for waste management. This review presents the utilization of C&D wastes-based adsorbents for removing contaminants from environmental matrices covering triple edge benefits in the viewpoints of waste treatment, solid waste management, and disposal. The properties, the capability of C&D waste adsorbents on contaminant removal, and the influence of various factors on the adsorptive removal is detailed. Further, the mechanisms involved in contaminant removal by C&D waste are summarized. The review revealed that, chemisorption is the prominent mechanism of contaminant removal by most C&D wastes. Among the three types of C&D waste reviewed; concrete-based adsorbents were the most efficient for contaminant removal. Limited studies are avaiable in the literature on binary and multiple contaminant systems, reusability studies, and high dependence on solution pH, therefore further studies are warrated. As C&D waste contain trace concentration of heavy metals and contaminants, its leaching potential at different pH levels and adsorbate concentration need to be conducted, which has been hitherto neglected. Finally, the approaches, obstacles, and potential solutions to build an industrially and economically efficient C&D adsorbent are discussed.

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of textile wastewater treatment by catalytic ozonation, highlighting the parameters of the process and accompanying mechanisms. Since more than 800,000 tons of dyes are produced annually and thousands of cubic meters of highly polluted textile wastewater have been emitted into the environment every day, this issue has become an environmental concern. Due to the high oxidative potential of ozone (2.08 V) and hydroxyl radical (2.80 V), the main reactive species in catalytic ozonation, the burdensome organic pollutants, including textile dyes, can be successfully decomposed. The paper shows the main groups of catalysts, emphasizing novel structural, nano-structured, and functionalized materials. The examples of catalytic ozonation in the industrial application for real textile wastewater were specially highlighted.

Abstract
In this study, a Co-Mn/CeO2 composite was prepared through a facile sol-gel method and used as an efficient catalyst for the ozonation of norfloxacin (NOR). The Co-Mn/CeO2 composite was characterized via XRD, SEM, BET and XPS analysis. The catalytic ozonation of NOR by Co-Mn/CeO2 under different conditions was systematically investigated, including the effect of the initial solution’s pH, Co-Mn/CeO2 composite dose, O3 dose and NOR concentration on degradation kinetics. Only about 3.33% of total organic carbon (TOC) and 72.17% of NOR could be removed within 150 min by single ozonation under the conditions of 60 mg/L of NOR and 200 mL/min of O3 at pH= 7 and room temperature, whereas in the presence of 0.60 g/L of the Co-Mn/CeO2 composite under the same conditions, 87.24% NOR removal was obtained through the catalytic ozonation process. The results showed that catalytic ozonation with the Co-Mn/CeO2 composite could effectively enhance the degradation and mineralization of NOR compared to a single ozonation system alone. The catalytic performance of CeO2 was significantly improved by the modification with Mn and Co. Co-Mn/CeO2 represents a promising way to prepare efficient catalysts for the catalytic ozonation of organic polluted water. The removal efficiency of NOR in five cycles indicates that Co-Mn/CeO2 is stable and recyclable for catalytic ozonation in water treatment.

Abstract
Over the past few years, synthetic dye-contaminated wastewater has attracted considerable global attention due to the low biodegradability and the ability of organic dyes to persist and remain toxic, causing numerous health and environmental concerns. As a result of the recalcitrant nature of those complex organic dyes, the remediation of wastewater using conventional wastewater treatment techniques is becoming increasingly challenging. In recent years, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have emerged as a potential alternative to treat organic dyestuffs discharged from industries. The most widely employed AOPs include photocatalysis, ozonation, Fenton oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, catalytic heterogeneous oxidation, and ultrasound irradiation. These processes involve the generation of highly reactive radicals to oxidize organic dyes into innocuous minerals. However, many conventional AOPs suffer from several setbacks, including the high cost, high consumption of reagents and substrates, self-agglomeration of catalysts, limited reusability, and the requirement of light, ultrasound, or electricity. Therefore, there has been significant interest in improving the performance of conventional AOPs using biopolymers and heterogeneous catalysts such as metal oxide nanoparticles (MONPs). Biopolymers have been widely considered in developing green, sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-cost AOP-based dye removal technologies. They inherit intriguing properties like biodegradability, renewability, nontoxicity, relative abundance, and sorption. In addition, the immobilization of catalysts on biopolymer supports has been proven to possess excellent catalytic activity and turnover numbers. The current review provides comprehensive coverage of different AOPs and how efficiently biopolymers, including cellulose, chitin, chitosan, alginate, gelatin, guar gum, keratin, silk fibroin, zein, albumin, lignin, and starch, have been integrated with heterogeneous AOPs in dye removal applications. This review also discusses the general degradation mechanisms of AOPs, applications of biopolymers in AOPs and the roles of biopolymers in AOPs-based dye removal processes. Furthermore, key challenges and future perspectives of biopolymer-based AOPs have also been highlighted.

Abstract
To optimize the efficiency of general adsorption-Fenton oxidation treatment, iron-loaded granular activated carbon (Fe-GAC) was prepared, characterized, and used as a catalyst in the heterogeneous Fenton oxidation of tetracycline (TC). Characterization revealed that the Fe(II) was successfully introduced onto the original granular activated carbon (GAC) and diversified the materials' surface morphology and elemental compounds. Under an initial pH of 3.0, the Fe-GAC/Fenton system obtained a maximum removal rate of 92.6%, with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dosages of 9 mmol g-1. And the GAC/Fenton without iron supplementation was 89.5%, with H2O2 dosages of 8 mmol g-1. Additionally, the Fe-GAC/Fenton system consumed a lower Fe(II) dosage than GAC/Fenton, with Fe(II)/H2O2 molar ratios of 0.007:1 and 0.04:1, respectively. Analysis of total organic carbon demonstrated higher mineralization efficiency in the Fe-GAC/Fenton system (67.2%), which was approximately 1.3 times of GAC/Fenton. Desorption experiments showed that the adsorption and degradation accounted for 19.22% and 80.78% of the total TC removal by GAC/Fenton, and 10.58% and 89.42% in the Fe-GAC/Fenton system, respectively. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique and quenching experiments demonstrated that the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in synergistic treatments were hydroxyl (•OH) and hydroxy peroxyl (HO2•) radicals. In addition, three potential degradation pathways for TC were proposed according to the detected fourteen intermediates. Catalyst regeneration treatments were evaluated over six cycles, and the regeneration was 6.5% higher with the iron-supplemented carbon granules. Overall, the Fe-GAC can be used as an efficient catalyst in practical water treatment, and this study demonstrated a promising method to develop adsorption-Fenton technology.

Abstract
The present work explored the adsorptive capacity and catalytic activity of rock powders from basaltic and granitic rocks in the discoloration of synthetic and industrial effluents containing the yellow dye Basic Yellow 96. The rock powders were characterized with scanning electron microscopy associated with energy-dispersive spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, N2 physisorption and X-ray diffraction, the latter confirming the abundant presence of silica in the four materials studied. The basaltic powders presented specific surface areas between 7 and 10 times greater than those of granitic materials, which allowed up to 92% removal of the dye in 3 h of test using the basaltic powder. Despite the smaller area, the granitic materials showed considerable photocatalytic activity in 3 h, 94%, the same as that of the basaltic materials in the photocatalysis. Granitic and basaltic photocatalysts proved to be efficient in the discoloration of synthetic and industrial effluents, although TOC analyses indicated that it was not possible to promote the pollutant mineralization in the industrial effluent. Both artificial light and sunlight were effective in the photocatalysis of the dye, although the former was slightly faster.

Abstract
The heterogeneous Fenton system has drawn great attention in recent years due to its effective degradation of polluted water capability without limitation of the pH range and avoiding excess ferric hydroxide sludge. Therefore, simple chemical precipitation and vacuum filtration method for manufacturing the heterogeneous Fenton aramid nanofibers (ANFs)/ferrous oxalate (FeC2O4) composite membrane catalysts with excellent degradation of methylene blue (MB) is reported in the study. The morphology and structure of materials synthesized were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray energy spectrum analysis (EDS), infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) equipment. The 10 ppm MB degradation efficiency of composite catalyst and ferrous oxalate (FeC2O4) within 15 min were 94.5% and 91.6%, respectively. The content of methylene blue was measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Moreover, the dye degradation efficiency still could achieve 92% after five cycles, indicating the composite catalyst with excellent chemical stability and reusability. Simultaneously, the composite catalyst membrane can degrade not only MB but also rhodamine B (RB), orange II (O II), and methyl orange (MO). This study represents a new avenue for the fabrication of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts and will contribute to dye wastewater purification, especially in the degradation of methylene blue.

Abstract
Distillery wastewater has high biological and chemical oxygen demand and requires additional treatment before it can be safely discharged into receiving water. It is usually processed through a biomethanation digester and the end product is the post-methanated distillery effluent (PMDE). Research have shown that PMDE released by molasses-based distilleries is a hazardous effluent that can cause harm to the biota and the environment; it contains elevated amount of total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS) and excess levels of persistent organic compounds (POPs), heavy metals, phenolic compounds, and salts. The practice of wastewater reuse for irrigation in many water scarce countries necessitates the proper treatment of PMDE before it is discharged into receiving water. Convention methods have been in practice for decades, but innovative technologies are needed to enhance the efficiency of PMDE treatment. Advance physical treatment such as membrane separation technology using graphene, ion-exchange and ultrafiltration membranes; chemical treatment such as advanced oxidation methods, electrocoagulation and photocatalytic technologies; biological treatment such as microbial and enzymatic treatment; and hybrid treatment such as microbial-fuel cell (MFC), genetically modified organisms (GMO) and constructed wetland technologies, are promising new methods to improve the quality of PMDE. This review provides insight into current accomplishments evaluates their suitability and discusses future developments in the detoxification of PMDE. The consolidated knowledge will help to develop a better management for the safe disposal and the reuse of PMDE wastewater.

Abstract
A hybrid composite based on metal-organic framework (MOF) was chemically fabricated by embedding the magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles within amino-functionalized porous La-MOF (MOF/NH2) to produce a highly efficient and reusable composite of MOF/NH2/Fe3O4. Different proper techniques were used for the characterization of surface morphology and chemical arrangement of the prepared MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite. The characterization results using various techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller analysis (BET), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) approved the successful fabrication of MOF with amino arms on its surface besides the well magnetization using magnetic nanoparticles. The MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite showed enhanced adsorption capacity (618 mg/g) toward methyl orange (MO) anionic dye which is higher than many commercial reported adsorbents due to the presence of many types of adsorption sites (NH2 groups and lanthanum sites), large surface area of MOF, and the synergetic effect of magnetic nanoparticles. Moreover, the MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite showed selective adsorption of MO dye from dye mixtures owing to the electrostatic attraction. Also, the MOF/NH2/Fe3O4 composite retained over 90% of its efficiency for the dye removal even after six successive cycles. So, the present study provided a practical strategy for the design of functional MOF hybrid composites. Furthermore, due to the adaptability of its architectural form, it is a potential adsorbent material for industrial wastewater treatment uses.

Abstract
In the present work, mesoporous silica spheres-doping CuO (CuO/MSS) was prepared via a facile hydrothermal method. It acted as a peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator for the removal of bisphenol A (BPA). X-Ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) showed that CuO was successfully synthesized and silica spheres were doped in CuO. Nitrogen sorption isotherm showed that CuO/MSS, which had a high specific surface area and a narrow pore size distribution, exhibited a mesoporous structure. The effect of initial pH, PDS dosage, catalyst amount, and activation temperature was assessed. A removal efficiency of over 80% was observed after five consecutive cycles, suggesting the superior stability of the catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), radical quenching experiments, and electrochemical evaluation showed that BPA removal was dominated by the electron transfer among PDS, BPA, and the surface of CuO/MSS (non-radical pathway), while SO4·- and OH· radicals had a minor contribution (radical pathway). In addition, the degradation pathways of BPA were proposed according to the intermediates. Overall, this study indicates that CuO/MSS is a promising effective PDS activator to address the drawbacks of the classical Fenton process.

[PMID: 34688000 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.127432] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/02/2021] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Industrial contaminants such as dyes and intermediates are released into water bodies, making the water unfit for human use. At the same time large amounts of food wastes accumulate near the work places, residential complexes etc. polluting the air due to putrefaction. The need of the hour lies in finding innovative solutions for dye removal from wastewater streams. In this context, the article emphasizes adoption or conversion of food waste materials, an ecological nuisance, as adsorbents for the removal of dyes from wastewaters. Adsorption, being a well-established technique, the review critically examines the specific potential of food waste constituents as dye adsorbents. The efficacy of food waste-based adsorbents is examined, besides addressing the possible adsorption mechanisms and the factors affecting phenomenon such as pH, temperature, contact time, adsorbent dosage, particle size, and ionic strength. Integration of information and communication technology approaches with adsorption isotherms and kinetic models are emphasized to bring out their role in improving overall modeling performance. Additionally, the reusability of adsorbents has been highlighted for effective substrate utilization. The review makes an attempt to stress the valorization of food waste materials to remove dyes from contaminated waters thereby ensuring long-term sustainability.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation technology is considered to be the most potential wastewater treatment technology. As one of the advanced oxidation technologies, the three-dimensional electrochemical system (3DES) is often used to treat industrial wastewater that is difficult to degrade. Sulphonated phenolic resin (SMP) was treated as a characteristic pollutant in sulfonated drilling wastewater. The separate effect of current, the dosage of particle electrodes, chloride ion concentration and initial pH on chlorinated by-products were analyzed by response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that current is the most dominant factor, followed by the dosage of particle electrodes. The ultraviolet-electrolysis (UVEL) system was implemented by adding ultraviolet light under the optimal electrolysis (EL) system. The chemical oxygen demand (CODcr) and total organic carbon (TOC) removal rates of the UVEL system were respectively increased by 19% and 29.39% compared with the EL system, the concentration of chlorinated by-products was also reduced by 534.4 mg/L when the UV irradiance was 5.24 mW/cm2. These results indicated that the UVEL system degrades SMP more thoroughly. The enhanced reaction mechanism of the UVEL system and the possible degradation pathway for SMP were proposed by controlling free radical quenching experiments and the product of EL and UVEL processes. The results showed that the high degradation efficiency of the UVEL system could be attributed to the synergistic degradation mechanism present in the UVEL system, where the photolysis of active chlorine species (ACl) promotes the increase of hydroxyl radical (·OH).

Abstract
The presence of dyes in the aquatic environment as a result of anthropogenic activities, especially textile industries, is a critical environmental challenge that hinders the availability of potable water. Different wastewater treatment approaches have been used to remediate dyes in aquatic environments; however, most of these approaches are limited by factors ranging from high cost to the incomplete removal of the dyes and contaminants. Thus, the use of adsorption as a water treatment technology to remove dyes and other contaminants has been widely investigated using different adsorbents. This study evaluated the significance of chitosan as a viable adsorbent for removing dyes from water treatment. We summarised the literature and research results obtained between 2009 and 2020 regarding the adsorption of dyes onto chitosan and modified chitosan-based adsorbents prepared through physical and chemical processing, including crosslinking impregnation, grafting, and membrane preparation. Furthermore, we demonstrated the effects of various chitosan-based materials and modifications; they all improve the properties of chitosan by promoting the adsorption of dyes. Hence, the application of chitosan-based materials with various modifications should be considered a cutting-edge approach for the remediation of dyes and other contaminants in aquatic environments toward the global aim of making potable water globally available.

Abstract
Water quality management will be a priority issue in the near future. Indeed, due to scarcity and/or contamination of the water, regulatory frameworks will be increasingly strict to reduce environmental impacts of wastewater and to allow water to be reused. Moreover, drinking water quality standards must be improved in order to account for the emerging pollutants that are being detected in tap water. These tasks can only be achieved if new improved and sustainable water treatment technologies are developed. Nanomaterials are improving the ongoing research on advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). This work reviews the most important AOPs, namely: persulfate, chlorine and NH2Cl based processes, UV/H2O2, Fenton processes, ozone, and heterogeneous photocatalytic processes. A critical review of the current coupling of nanomaterials to some of these AOPs is presented. Besides the active role of the nanomaterials in the degradation of water contaminants/pollutants in the AOPs, the relevance of their adsorbent/absorbent function in these processes is also discussed.

Reutilization of Fe-containing tailings ore enriched by iron(iii) chloride as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for decolorization of organic dyes. RSC Adv 2021; 11:15871-15884.

Abstract
In this study, the Fe-containing tailings (Fe-TO) ore was reutilized and enriched with FeCl3 as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Fenton process to degrade the organic dyes from aqueous solution. The determinants of the heterogeneous catalytic Fenton system which included iron modification ratio, solution pH, catalyst dosage, H2O2 dosage and initial concentration of organic dyes were systematically investigated. The modification ratio of 15% (w/w of iron), pH of 3, MFe-TO15 dosage of 0.5 g L−1 and H2O2 dosage of 840 mg L−1 were chosen as the best operational conditions for Fenton oxidation of organic dyes. The decolorization efficiency of both MB and RhB by MFe-TO15/H2O2 was higher than that of Fe-TO/H2O2 by about two times. The kinetic study showed the degradation of organic dyes well fitted the pseudo-first-order kinetic model with apparent constant rate values (Kd) following the same sequence as the degradation efficiency of organic dyes. The degradation mechanism of dyes could be attributed to adsorption due to the good-development in textural properties of the iron modified catalyst (MFe-TO) with an increase in BET surface area, pore volume and pore diameter of, respectively, 2, 5 and 5 times and leaching iron through homogeneous Fenton reaction. However, the oxidation process occurring on the MFe-TO15's surface by heterogeneous Fenton reaction which enhanced decomposition of H2O2 for continuous generation of hydroxyl radicals was the main mechanism. The key role of *OH radical in oxidation of organic dyes was further ascertained by the remarkable drop in the decolorization of both organic dyes when the various radical-scavengers, including tert-butanol and chloride were supplemented into Fenton systems. A good stability of the catalyst was obtained through leaching test with low leaching iron ratio. The applied modified catalyst remained stable through three consecutive runs. From these findings, it can be concluded that the modified material can be applied as a feasible, inexpensive and highly effective catalyst for removal of persistent organic compounds from wastewater. In this study, the Fe-containing tailings (Fe-TO) ore was reutilized and enriched with FeCl3 as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Fenton process to degrade the organic dyes from aqueous solution.![]()

Abstract
In the last 3 years alone, over 10,000 publications have appeared on the topic of dye removal, including over 300 reviews. Thus, the topic is very relevant, although there are few articles on the practical applications on an industrial scale of the results obtained in research laboratories. Therefore, in this review, we focus on advanced oxidation methods integrated with biological methods, widely recognized as highly efficient treatments for recalcitrant wastewater, that have the best chance of industrial application. It is extremely important to know all the phenomena and mechanisms that occur during the process of removing dyestuffs and the products of their degradation from wastewater to prevent their penetration into drinking water sources. Therefore, particular attention is paid to understanding the mechanisms of both chemical and biological degradation of dyes, and the kinetics of these processes, which are important from a design point of view, as well as the performance and implementation of these operations on a larger scale.

Abstract
In this study, Fe3O4 nanoparticle-loaded biochar derived from the pomelo peel (FO-PPB) was synthesized and applied as an affordable material for the adsorption of Reactive Red 21 (RR21) in an aqueous solution. The characteristics of FO-PPB were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area. The adsorption process of FO-PPB with RR21 was evaluated through batch experiments to examine various parameters including solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, initial RR21 concentration, and solution temperature. Results show that FO-PPB produced by the impregnation ratio between iron (Fe) and pomelo peel biochar (PPB) of 5 : 1 (w/w) had the best adsorption performance. The adsorption capacities of PPB and FO-PPB at optimum experimental conditions (solution pH 3, contact time of 60 min, solution temperature of 40°C, initial RR21 concentration of 300 mg/L, and adsorbent dose of 2 g/L) were 18.59 and 26.25 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption isotherms of RR21 on PPB and FO5-PPB were described well by Langmuir and Sips models with high R2 values of 0.9826 and 0.9854 for FO5-PPB and 0.9701 and 0.9903 for PPB, respectively. The obtained data also well matched the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models with R2 values ≥ 0.96. Chemisorption through sharing or electronic exchange was determined as the main adsorption mechanism.
